It’s been quite a rollercoaster season for Marvin Harrison Jr. After seeing his hype balloon balloon to the point where he was considered a first-round fantasy draft pick, the rookie started the season with a paltry 0.9-point performance.
Things completely changed over the next three weeks, with MHJ hitting double-digit fantasy points.
Then a missed game due to a concussion was sandwiched between two performances of less than five points.

Suffice it to say, fantasy football managers panicked.
Whether it was his usage, his commitment or his own individual talent, everyone sought an explanation for MHJ’s struggles. Then week 8 happened.
Harrison scored 20.10 fantasy points against a tough Miami high school, and his usage in particular (more crossers instead of go routes) gave hope for the weeks to come.
The highly talented rookie will have another tough matchup against the Bears in Week 9. See where he lands in our Week 9 WR rankings:
